Secure your differential assembly with confidence using this Genuine Nissan Crown Wheel Bolt, designed for Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 models fitted with H260 differentials up to 10/1991 and Nissan Patrol Y62 models equipped with H260 differentials. Measuring 38mm in overall length, this OEM bolt secures the crown wheel (ring gear) to the differential carrier, ensuring proper clamping force and reliable driveline operation under heavy loads.

During differential rebuilds, ratio changes, bearing replacements, or locker installations, crown wheel bolts should always be carefully inspected. Over time, repeated torque loads, heat cycles, and servicing can cause bolt heads to wear, threads to fatigue, or clamping force to diminish. Replacing worn or damaged crown wheel bolts helps prevent differential failure and protects expensive driveline components from unnecessary damage.

Manufactured to genuine Nissan specifications, this direct-fit replacement bolt provides the strength, fitment, and durability required for demanding on-road and off-road applications.

Vehicle Fitment

Suitable for:

• Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 with H260 differential (up to 10/1991)
• Nissan Patrol Y62 with H260 differential and VK56 engine

Please confirm compatibility prior to purchase or contact us with your VIN to ensure correct fitment. Differential centres may have been swapped during the vehicle's lifetime, so it is recommended to verify bolt length before ordering. This bolt does not suit GU Y61 H260 differential applications, which typically use a longer 45mm crown wheel bolt.

Common Signs of Wear

• Rounded or damaged bolt heads
• Corroded differential hardware
• Stretched or fatigued bolt threads
• Differential rebuild or locker installation in progress
• Evidence of previous over-tightening
• Loose crown wheel hardware during inspection
• Worn or damaged ring gear retaining bolts

Replacing crown wheel bolts during differential servicing is inexpensive insurance against costly driveline failures. Genuine Nissan hardware provides the correct strength and clamping force required to keep your H260 differential operating reliably in the toughest conditions.
